Since she was young, Phuong Nguyen has been passionate about design and the spaces around her. After coming to Nebraska from Ha Long, Vietnam, she immersed herself in interior design and architecture, earning a B.S. in interior design in 2014 and an M.S. in architecture in 2017.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend, Dale L. Gibbs Emeritus Professor of Architecture, who was a colleague, teacher, mentor, friend and so much more to the alumni, students, staff and faculty of the College of Architecture. 

It took 15 architecture students about 12 hours over two days to create five prototype plant stands or coat trees that were practical, aesthetically pleasing and symbolic.
